Surface‐Engineered Ti3C2Tx MXene/Cu2O Photocathodes for Highly Selective Photoelectrocatalytic CO2 Reduction to Ethanol

Advanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
Surface‐engineering Ti3C2Tx MXenes with an in situ‐grown TiO2 layer on the surface in combination with visible‐light‐absorbing Cu2O significantly enhances charge separation and carrier extraction while improving Cu2O resistance to photocorrosion. The resulting Cu2O/TiO2‐MXene photocathodes enable highly selective, solar‐driven ethanol production ...
